Star Wars is building up the hype for its upcoming movie "The Last Jedi" by debuting the movie's official trailer as well as by providing the first chance to buy its tickets on Monday. The highly-anticipated movie will hit theaters on December 15.

The official trailer for The Last Jedi, which continues the epic story of Rey, Kylo Ren, and the struggle between the Resistance and the First Order will debut during halftime of this week's Monday Night Football on ESPN - when Minnesota Vikings play the Chicago Bears. Tickets for the movie will go on sale alongside the debut of the trailer.

A teaser trailer of the movie was previously launched at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando in April 2017 and featured Luke Skywalker's warning,"I only know one truth… its time for the Jedi to end."

Disney's Lucasfilm has announced several offers, special events, and giveaways in celebration of the film's release.

Several opening night events are scheduled to take place on December 14, a day ahead of the movie's release. These include an opening night fan event and a double-feature of The Last Jedi and its predecessor, "The Force Awakens".

Lucasfilm also provided details regarding the theaters that will feature a marathon showing of all eight Star Wars films back-to-back on launch day.

These premium events will include exclusive content, Star Wars collectible cards, and a special concession offer. The Last Jedi will start at 6 p.m. local time, one hour earlier than regular public show times.

Every Sunday from December 17 to January 7, fans who buy a ticket to see The Last Jedi in IMAX at AMC Theatres will receive an exclusive print from artist Dan Mumford, while supplies last. A new poster will also be revealed each week.

On all Saturdays from December 16 to December 30, the first 500 fans who will see The Last Jedi in IMAX at Regal Cinemas will receive an exclusive collectible ticket featuring unique art, while supplies last. New art will be revealed weekly.

For a limited time, Connections loyalty members can purchase a RealD 3D ticket for The Last Jedi to unlock a free pair of 3D Star Wars glasses.
